Good CPU for the price

[werty316]

What are people's opinions on what CPU is good for the price? I was think of upgrading to a Barton 2500+ since this has been the deal since I can remember. Its still a deal yes?

Barton 2500+ is definitely the best lower end CPU you can get. Newegg has them for $86 ($91 for retail)

Yep 2500+ is best bang-for-buck without a doubt, and its still a fantastic CPU

Depending on your motherboard and RAMs ability to handle it, I think the XP2600/333 is the top of the pricebreak, after that there's a bit of a jump in pricing.
